Whatever has happened in the past, and whatever will happen in the future substantiates the ongoing cycle that makes up the creation process (derived from the realm of infinite potentialities); something is created as the previous thing is simultaneously destroyed. Time is intangible and does not exist until it creates its counterpart, matter (this concept is explained in the previous post: “Universal Polarities: Time/Matter, Chaos/Order, 01”). It is the change that happens through ‘time’ that quantifies timing. So, time does not move forward or backward, what we experience is an endless string of change.

To illustrate the difference between the illusion that Time is in constant forward motion and the reality, that change quantifies time, imagine you are in a train station, sitting on a train that is parked beside another train. The train next to you begins to move. You are gripped by the illusion that your train is the one moving, likewise we have been living with the illusion that our train, Time, is the one that is in motion. Timing is the pendulum that seems to move forward, away from the past. It is the train next to us, change that is actually in motion. It is not Time that moves forward but the creation process at work, destroying and creating from 0 to 1.

Timing is the measurement of change that holds our imagination captive.

Before Einstein resurrected a fourth dimension called TIME, the masses generally accepted a three-dimensional world made up of height, width, and depth. For the sake of exploration, I propose that we consider the first three dimensions, attributed to tangible matter as one all encompassing dimension and let us keep the intangible TIME as the second dimension. This perception will capitalize on the importance of dual polarities as the fundamental principle of the self-created universe, such that the intangible ‘0’ creates the tangible ‘1’ and the ‘1’ cannot come to be without the ‘0’.

In the Universal Information System dual polarities generate meaning. One way to grasp this concept is by using the example of language. The vocabulary within language relies on its counterparts to produce meaning. For instance: take the adjectives hot and cold. One could not comprehend the essence of ‘hot’ unless it could be compared to its opposite. By being aware of both contradicting adjectives, we can subconsciously deduce ‘Hot’ is ‘Not cold’. Everything is relative to its polarity, so ‘hot’ and ‘cold,’ ‘fast’ and ‘slow,’ ‘high’ and ‘low,’ ‘long’ and ‘short,’ ‘positive and negative,’ ‘on and off,’ ‘female and male’ are mutually dependant on one another in order to obtain meaning (or create in the case of the female/male).

The following is a less tangible example: On a cosmic scale things happen at once in the eternal now. For instance, as soon as something is created it is simultaneously destroyed as something new takes its place, in an endless chain reaction. But when this cycle is amassed or viewed as a collective, as we do in our daily lives, things have a clear beginning and end. Another example is the transition between Day and Night. The changeover appears to happen in 12-hour increments but on a cosmic scale it happens all at once. As the planet rotates approximately 1000 miles an hour around the equator night and day are occurring concurrently in different time zones.

The universe is both an open and a closed system. It is an open system because it is a time/space element; an infinite womb that carries the embryonic scale of galaxies and quasars floating in an open space. Then again, if we aggregate all the matter that exists in the universe it is a closed system. The system relies on space and time (open system), and space and time cannot be perceived unless there is matter (closed system) to formulate it. Thus one system cannot exist without the other.

Just like the universe exists in dual polarities so does everything within it. The universe is an I.S. (Information System) made up of ‘0’s and ‘1’s where the intangible ‘0’ creates the tangible ‘1’. The ‘0’ and the ‘1’ are polarized because the ‘0’ is nothing and the ‘1’ is something. Therefore, the ‘0’ (time/mind) brings existence to the tangible ‘1’, that is everything that could be seen, heard, smelled, or tasted, etc. The polarized ‘01’ generates change, and thus, creation. The transformation occurs via magical quantum leaps in the realm of infinite possibilities. So, like every thing else, the universal polarities ‘0’ and ‘1’ are inter-dependent, they mutually co-create what is. It is to be noted with amazement, how dual universal polarities, as that of the ‘0’ and the ‘1,’ can ultra cosmically propagate to be as multi-dimensional as that of the infinite possibilities.

“I view the total universe as one huge mill devouring the self as it spews out new material in the ongoing production process. And yet, it is the endless churning of Creation, which allows me to clearly see how things happen in the eternal now, including this reading. As you read this text each moment that passes is destroyed as the new one begins. Universally. Even reading this material is done by the eternal now, subjected to the eternal power of Change.” EC

Believing vs. Understanding

“And at the beginning was the word” so the bible says. The bible however leaves us puzzled because it does not explain the source of “the word”. “The word, ” as I will further explain, is a derivative of something else which is not anything at all; we cannot hear it, we cannot read it, we cannot see it, we cannot smell it, and we certainly cannot touch it, which is why it has been so difficult to grasp it! For millennia scientists, physicists, cosmologists, historians, and philosophers among others have been attempting to put their finger on this intangible void that we are faced with. On their path to understanding the invisible they have made tremendous discoveries such as the remarkable String Theory, the theory of the “Holographic universe,” and that of the "Parallel universe" etc., but none, which uncover the invisible secret of creation. In the interim we humans have developed belief systems that have served as a temporary substitute for the holistic understanding of the universe and the creation process. A belief system, no matter how sought after and followed is nevertheless erroneous, instigates speculation and is devoid of understanding the total and comprehensive universe. Religious and non-religious beliefs have had their respected time in the history of our evolutionary development, it is only a mater of time before we can claim UNDERSTANDING.

Furthermore, as we continue to evolve as a species it becomes necessary to come to an ultimate understanding. Understanding the make-up of the universe and how it functions is akin to being a part of flower: in touch not only with itself but also with the rest of the garden, the estate and the world that contains it, supports it and sustains it.

Edmond Cohen has been greatly influenced by the great religions of the West: Judaism, Christianity, and Islam. Originally born in Mesopotamia, and having experienced the alleys of Baghdad, Edmond migrated to Israel and then to Canada and finally Southern California.

After a revelation in his midlife, Edmond experienced a transformation wich catapulted him into a new rennaissance way of living. He immersed himself into the expression of his ideas, understanding and cultural awareness through painting, sculpting and architectural design, all of which have received amazing notoriety. A philosopher at heart, Edmond writes dynamic poetry on themes such as the time paradigm, the origin of the universe, and the unity of all things. Emerging from his solitary expression, Mr. Cohen wants to reach out and affect other beings on a similar path. His vision of the future is optimistic: A euphoric existence for all humanity and the entire living kingdom of this planet. The gate to Eden is now open.

I began to contemplate my being-ness when I was forty-five, after I realized that I did not have a clue as to who I was, how I function and what this thing is that we call ‘life’. I was constantly told that there is a God, and there was creation, and there was a Bible, and that the Bible was a very smart book. Luckily I accepted those statements as merely a general speculation based on not so solid evidence. As I moved from one country to another and learned different cultures and languages and adapted to different styles of life I confess that I remained nevertheless ignorant. My consciousness was no consciousness at all except for that I only am. Then, only thirty years ago I was brought head to head with the truth. As my relationship with the universe changed I began to perceive life in a more holistic and peaceful way.
